In Massachusetts today, there are a number of programs that help residents who qualify manage their energy costs. These programs include fuel assistance, utility discount rates and energy efficiency services. A group of the state’s utility companies have joined forces with The Massachusetts Association for Community Action (MASSCAP) and Low-Income Energy Affordability Network (LEAN) to promote the programs to qualifying households. The initiative is known as Energy Bucks.

FUEL ASSISTANCE Direct payment subsidies to reduce the price you pay for energy services

UTILITY DISCOUNT RATES Discounted rates that lower what you are charged for the energy you use

ENERGY EFFICIENCY SERVICES Weatherization services that make your house more energy efficient, thereby reducing your total energy needs
